When getting up to certain speeds (especially in a Traxxas Slash), there's a lot more to consider then just sticking a monster ESC/motor combo in it.

Getting tons of speed from a Slash isn't a problem. Keeping a Slash on it's wheels at high speed is!

yeah i kno it goes about 50 and then blows over
its body acts as a parachute

It's biggest problem is the very high center of gravity. You'd want to lower this which means a new flat chassis.

Without proper consideration of details, you'll probably end up with the world's fastest flip-over Slash. The ones I've seen that have that much power just flip-over as soon as they goose the throttle.

You're aiming for top speed or quickest acceleration or what? Gearing will make all the difference depending on what you're after. If you make it the quickest-accelerating Slash, what are you going to do to stop it from just wheelie-ing right onto it's roof every time you gun it? If you want it to have the highest top speed, how are you going to gear it to accomplish that without overheating the motor?

crazyslashman

im going to post some pics im a track guy but i got a b44 and use that for the track so im just going to do something new

Could we get some better pic's. so we can see what you are working with?
There are a number of issue's to deal with when trying to get a decent top speed out of a Slash and have it be controllable.

crazyslashman
